Testimonial for Katie Baxter
After a traumatic first birth experience, I knew I wanted more support for my second pregnancy. Hiring Katie was one of the best decisions I made.
Katie was so much more than someone who showed up on delivery day. Throughout my pregnancy, she became a trusted sounding board—someone I could text with questions, anxieties, and endless “what ifs.” I’m a planner by nature, and Katie adapted to exactly what I needed. She patiently talked me through different scenarios, helped me understand what to expect, and gave me practical ways to prepare. No question ever felt too small.
As my due date approached, I had a few false alarms, and Katie was always checking in, responding quickly, and ready to head to the hospital if needed. When it came time for my induction, she was there throughout the process. And when my birth unexpectedly turned into a C-section, she pivoted seamlessly with me. It wasn’t the birth I had envisioned, but her calm, reassuring presence made an incredibly difficult day feel so much less overwhelming.
What surprised me most, though, was how invaluable Katie was after my daughter was born. She helped me through breastfeeding struggles, answered countless questions, and even came to my home so I could get out of the house and refill my own cup. Watching her with my daughter was amazing—she somehow got her to eat and sleep better than I could! She has an incredible intuition with babies that only comes from years of experience, and knowing I had someone like that in my corner brought me so much peace of mind.
My daughter is now 10 months old, and I still feel like I can call Katie if I need her. That says everything about the kind of doula she is. She doesn’t just support you through birth—she truly cares about you and your family long afterward. I recommend Katie wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly exceptional doula.
